Destinet starts with Europe
DestiNet Sustainable Tourism Certification Quickfinder – starts with Europe
More than 170 certification programmes on sustainable tourism are operating worldwide: businesses, tour operators and destinations never had a greater choice of regional, national and international labels to prove their "green" commitment and performance regarding environmentally sound and socially responsible sustainability.
"And they never had more questions in order to make a proper choice", says Destinet "The questions that they want to answer are:
- Which of these certificates are available in which country?
- Which types of tourism services can apply for them?
- What are the differences between these labels?
- Which labels are using standards which are internationally recognized by GSTC?
- Which of these labels are operating a GSTC approved verification system?
- What are their specific criteria for hotels, camping sites, restaurants, tourist attractions, activities, transport services, packages, destinations or tour operators?
- Which of these labels have mapped their certified tourism on the public DestiNet Atlas?
To provide transparency in the market segment and to support mainstreaming of sustainable and responsible tourism, ECOTRANS has, since 1993, continuously researched and published the growing list of certification programmes on the independenthttp:// http://www.DestiNet.eu platform.
The new Sustainable Tourism Certification Quickfinder on DestiNet.eu gives the answers and free access to details. A helpful service for tourism businesses and destination managers, product managers at tour operators and travel agents, students and professionals – and for certification programmes themselves to be found in the "jungle of labels".
The Quickfinder starts with Europe as global region with the highest density of certification programmes, the Quickfinders on the other global regions will follow soon.
